Andrew Wilson said: “We are absolutely thrilled, surprised and honoured to be included in such great company. We really didn’t expect this as we don’t see ourselves as high flying entrepreneurs but more as two people with a passion and enjoyment for what we do.
“This is a fantastic endorsement of everything we have achieved to date, and we are particularly pleased for our teams whose hard work and absolute commitment continue to make the Wilson Vale journey so special.”
